Thanks for the wake up call, Mum...

Good luck with the panelbeater.

Will your car be on REVS after this or not??

I also hate the NRMA.

Hope to see it roaring around soon.

Shouldn't be... It should be processed as a repairable write off. There is some documentation needed to get it re-registered though. Some sort of engineer's report or something. I don't know. But a repairable write-off shouldn't be listed on REVS afaik.

The lady at NRMA who finalised the claim told me it wouldn't go on revs, rego wouldn't be any different and the rta aren't notified. the only people that know about the economic write-off status are me and the NRMA.

If it's any different, it's their problem to fix after she told me that ^^

If its a repairable write off it will be on Revs. Meaning it has been written off by an Insurance company as beyond economic repair.

If it was a Statutory Write off, the VIN would be cancelled and it could never be re-registered.

Mickey should push just to get a cheque, and not to have the car recorded as a repairable write off as it then carries that identifier which makes it hard to sell later and worth less.

Cheque is coming next week sometime

NRMA are ****s, they were my insurance company, they sorted out a not at fault accident of mine and I will never be insuring another car with them.

Yep. NOTE TO EVERYONE - DO NOT USE THE NRMA. It's not worth it. Unfortunately for them, every person I talk to about insurance will be advised not to use them. It's the least I can do .

Once its on REVS it can never be reversed, just make sure mate, thats all.

Thread revival!

after 6 weeks of crap (he's been going to court three times a week, and we've been waiting for the right panels), I got it back today! Painted up, all perfect and very very shiny (with the obligatory crappy detailing marks) and I'm a happy chappy

Only thing is, it runs like CRAP! I need to have the timing and air/fuel ratio looked at on a dyno or whatevs...can anyone recommend somewhere I can go for that? I'll probably check the timing myself this weekend.

And I second what Jarred said.. Pics or die
